I still have three of my dollies from childhood. My mother used to make us matching dresses. My MM is up. <strong>Lifecruiser: Thanks Norma.

Tha was very nice, to match each other.</strong> What a great story, and how creative you were (even by accident) as a youngster. I still have three of my dollies from childhood.

Our Plush Memories blog started out being posts similar to this, but folks kept asking for help finding lost lovies, so it kindof evolved into something different. <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, I can understand how it went, it's always interesting with things we remember from the past. I love old things since it got a history too. New things don't have that yet.</strong> I really enjoyed reading all about your doll memories.

I remember 'borrowing' my friends Cindy (poor man's Barbie!) so I had one! I was a little tyke! One year I spent my whole dad's Christmas money gift on the one doll - my mum was furious! £5 all on one doll! It was twenty years later that she admitted she was mad at my dad and herself for not thinking to buy me a doll! cq My MM is up! <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, I can understand your mothers reaction there.

I want one! :mrgreen: My problem with dolls was I wanted to give them haircuts. It was a one-time only deal. Then many years after I outgrew dolls, they developed the Barbie that you could give her a haircut and her hair grew back. Your memories of your dolls brought back many of my own. Thanks for stopping by my MM! <strong>Lifecruiser: Oh, haircut dolls, that is very interesting for any girl I think. There is a lot of children that even has got so far that they cut their own hair too... To their parents horror... *lol*</strong> I’m jealous just hearing about the green alien doll!

One throws up on you when you feed it its special formula, which was an interesting concept for a child's toy. The special formula "disappeared" after the first -- um -- incident the Christmas I got her. <strong>Lifecruiser: Wow, that truly was an intersting concept.

One day it stopped talking and I cried so my mom operated on it. We have pictures of my mom and my brother and cousin in swim goggles with knives operating on my doll. It never talked again and my parents had to buy me a new one but I do remember the operation. It wasn't fun at the time, now, 30 years later, it's one of my funniest memories. <strong>Lifecruiser: I remember that type of dolls too, but never had any.
